Hex Gone Wild (BBW Werewolf Erotica) (Smut-Shorties Book 4) by Milly Taiden Page A

him during a walk to get some herbs in her private patch of land, he’d never strayed far from her thoughts.
    Crap. “I’ll stop it. I’m not going to send a lust spell on a sex crazed shifter.”
    Cleo raised her brows, amused. “And how would you know he’s sex crazed?”
    She cleared her throat. “I’ve heard things.”
    Shit, she’d heard some stuff that would make her give up her savings for a night with Jared.
    Things like how fucking amazing he was in bed. How many of the women in his pack made a line to be chosen as his next bed mate.
    “Ah, child.” Cleo pulled away from Dalia and gazed out of her window into the woods where the shifters lived. “Sounds to me like you want to find out for yourself if the hearsay is true.”
    Stupid shifter and his hot as hell eyes. She did want to know if he was as good in bed as the women said. The last time he’d shown up to her house naked, he’d growled that if she didn’t learn to do her spells correctly, he’d happily give her some lessons. Him. Like he could teach a hundred year old witch born from the elements how to do her craft.
    “He’s too handsome for his own good.”
    Cleo shook her head and grinned. “Bastard.”
    Damn straight!
    “I have to go, but maybe try focusing your energy on a spell that will get you some results,” Cleo winked. “No sense in you being so sexually frustrated.”
    “Cleo!”
    “It’s true. You haven’t gotten properly bedded in years. I can tell by that snarky attitude of yours. When you’re relaxed you could give a flying frog what’s going on in the world.”
    She folded her arms over her chest and shook her head. “I don’t think so but thanks. From what I heard Jared likes his women to be tiny, blonde and quiet.”
    Cleo frowned. “Well that’s no fun.”
    She hugged her godmother and waved as Cleo disappeared. “Have fun!”
    “I plan to. You should too! Get laid by the growly wolf.”
    Only in her dreams. Once Cleo had gone, she went to shower and change into a black night gown and left her house.

    Maybe her problem was that she was inside, cooped up. The woods, nature would be better and might allow her to connect with her spell with more direction and strength.
    Carrying her book, she entered the forest and walked to the area she’d been assigned by the council to call on the elements. Her connection with the earth ran deep. It should help with her spell.
    She placed her book on a broken tree trunk and opened it to the designated page.
    A red candle appeared next to her book. Normally one needed a photo of the person the spell was for, but she was just trying it out, so this wasn’t really a full version of what would be later on.
    She drew a circle and glanced up at the sky, ready to begin.
    Venus, Mighty one of Lust!
    I call upon you with your trust
    To bring this person to me now
    The image of Jared’s eyes flashed through her mind.
    Not now! Not Jared Price.
    Your fragile trust is your vow!
    Please come to me
    Fulfill my desire successfully
    I beg of you to come to me
    As I will, so mote it be.
    Goosebumps broke over her skin. A burst of wind curled around her in a protective cocoon before it died down to a soft breeze.
    Nothing happened. She might need professional help. She hated to think what the council would say about her inability to perform a simple lust spell. At least she wasn’t dumb enough to drink while trying to do this. Only goddess knew where that would take her.
    The moon shone bright in the night sky. She stood there for a few moments, staring into the river and wondering what she’d do.
    Then it came. A loud growl broke through the night. She whirled around, searching for him. And it was him. She knew the sound of his anger quite well by now.
    Uh-oh.
    She took a quick step back, her ass hitting the edge of the trunk she placed her spell book on. Then she saw him. Tall, broad-shouldered and naked. Sporting an erection that made her gasp.
